I always thought that anytime you >adjust the game clock you are allowed to adjust programs internal clock. > >-Andrew- I agree that it is absurd not to allow changing the clock of the program based on the digital clock but some operators do not have the same opinion. Shredder4 lost the last game in the israeli league because the operator believed that he has no right to change the times on the program's clock during the game. He used 100 minutes /40 moves instead of 120 minutes for 40 moves but he had to do other things during the game so the time difference was not enough. Uri
